These knives are awesome! Unfortunately, the handles start to flake when washing!! I have only hand-washed them, but several have the paint flaking! I had received the package about a month before I started using them, therefore, was unable to receive a refund or replacement!!

I loved these knives when I saw them online. I did read the reviews and they said that they peel. I bought them anyway thinking maybe the reviews were wrong. But they are right, the film on the bottom of the knives that Give them the Matt finish have completely started peeling after the first few uses.
